“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(5. To class members: “You are yourself. I am myself. I am not Ruburt. Ruburt is not me. Ruburt is me. I am myself … You are death and you are life … Ruburt can do many things that surprise me — that I did not do in my past, for remember that fresh creativity emerges from the past also, as in [Ruburt’s novel] Oversoul Seven. My memory does not include a predetermined past in which Ruburt exists. He can do things that did not happen in my memory of that existence, and did not, in fact, occur.” [And added later: I quoted the last three lines in Appendix 18 for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality.]

(10:52.) Give us a moment … In certain terms, for instance, I am a future of Ruburt, but the “past” is always freshly creative. Ruburt’s life as he knows it is not in my memory — because I did different things when I was Ruburt. And he is not bound by that reality that was mine.

(Leaning forward, speaking intently but half-humorously:) I have memories of being Ruburt — but the Ruburt I was is not the Ruburt that Ruburt is in his reality. He surprises me, and his reactions alter my past. In his terms I am a future self, with far greater knowledge, yet he uses that knowledge to alter his present reality; and when I was Ruburt I did not have that knowledge. You can say then that I am altering my own past, but Ruburt’s present experience also changes my present experience — and so there is an unending interchange.⁵
